Kerrie Waring, ICGN Executive Director was delighted to give a presentation to the Japan Financial Services Agency, The Council of Experts for the Follow-up of Japan's Stewardship. The presentation covered three areas of importance including: Capital efficiency, role of independent directors and influence of cross shareholdings.  

ICGN is pleased to respond to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) consultation regarding its proposal to create a new premium listing category for sovereign controlled companies. Many of our investor members either own or manage assets listed in the UK, and therefore will be affected by the consultation’s outcome.

ICGN was delighted to launch the Japanese version of the ICGN Global Governance Principles at an event hosted by Japan Exchange Group (JPX) and the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE).  

ICGN is encouraged that the Bursa Malaysia is seeking to harmonise its own listing requirements in alignment with the latest developments in the Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance.

ICGN’s Executive Director Kerrie Waring outlines the issues at stake and latest developments on multi-class shares. 

Approved by ICGN Members at our AGM, the ICGN Global Stewardship Principles have now been translated into Japanese.

ICGN announces its policy priorities for 2017. These priorities provide a frame of reference to guide ICGN policy work and policy committees.  A particular focus is on promoting long-term investment perspectives and sustainable value creation.
